Yes, the Army MP badge is still used. That being said.... in MOST cases, its used for MPI (Military Police Investigations). Last I heard, every MP company/Unit has Badges issued, (Per TOE I think), but seldom issed to indv. MP's. You may see them from time to time on MP's working special functions... ( think presidential, or Congress etc..) The Army still has a Spec Sheet on the badges, for the manufacturer of the badges. I think there are two companes that make them. the Specs have changed slightly over the years, but nothing major. Just a few tweeks on the rounding of the edges, or weight, etc. The "REAL" MP badges are east to spot..... they ALL have the words "GOVT PROPERTY" stamped on the pin atachment on the back of the badge, and ALL have a nmber on the bottom....1 letter, and 4 numbers. (My old one was S0459). I have heard some people talk of the number is the First letter of the last name, and last for of the SSN, but I kind of doubt that, it makes the badge usless for the next guy. And they are controlled items, so they are turned in. MPI is real particulare about the MPI creds, so my guess is that somone working MPI must just be ordering Dups, and putting the numbers they want on it... but not sure. hope this helps.

If you switch from active to reserve Army can you still wear Expert Infantry Badge?

The question makes it sound like a scenario where one decides to switch from the Regular (active) Army to the Army Reserve in the middle of their enlistment. This cannot be done - you can reenlist into a reserve component after your enlistment in the Regular Army is up, but you can't decide halfway through your enlistment that you want to switch your status to that of a reservist. On the matter of wearing an EIB, yes. You're entitled to wear any skill badges earned regardless of which component of the Army you're in. If you've earned the Expert Infantrymans Badge, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Expert Field Medic Badge, Combat Medic Badges, Combat Action Badge, jump wings, Air Assault wings, Pathfinder Badge, etc., then you're still entitled to wear them if you reenlist for a reserve component of the Army. Same thing with a Ranger tab.
